Now you can achieve higher performance and transform the economics of your NASbased applications and files in physical, virtual, and private cloud deployments. The WFA is a key part of your allflash data center. Transform Your Data Center Performance and Economics Violin’s Windows Flash Array (WFA) delivers game changing performance and economics to your datacenter so you can do more with existing IT resources. The combination of Violin Memory’s patented Flash Fabric Architecture™, Microsoft’s fast SMB Direct protocol, and Microsoft Windows Storage Server 2012 R2 means you can optimize your NAS environment to meet growing needs while delivering consistent throughput to handle the most demanding workloads as well as reducing CAPEX and OPEX. The WFA is particularly wellsuited for workloads requiring consistent low latency and high throughput, and workloads with a high degree of random I/O activity. Examples include Tier1 NAS file servers, collaboration, software development, media and entertainment, geosciences, engineering, high performance backup and restore targets, and private cloud deployments. In addition, multilayered hardware and software resiliency delivers consistent enterpriseclass performance and the knowledge that your enterprise applications and associated data will remain online 24x7. The WFA delivers the features of SAN, with the performance of DAS, at the price of NAS. With the WFA, you can transform your NAS and data center economics. To learn more about how the WFA can dramatically improve your NAS environment, please contact your Violin Memory representative or go to www.violinmemory.com.

Windows  Flash  Array  Combine  Violin’s  enterprise-­‐class  storage  with  the  ease  and  capabilities  of  Windows®  Storage  Server  2012  R2  in  an  integrated  Tier-­‐1  NAS  solution.  Now  you  can  achieve  higher  performance  and  transform  the  economics  of  your  NAS-­‐based  applications  and  files  in  physical,  virtual,  and  private  cloud  deployments.  The  WFA  is  a  key  part  of  your  all-­‐flash  data  center.  

Transform  Your  Data  Center  Performance  and  Economics  

Violin’s  Windows  Flash  Array  (WFA)  delivers  game  changing  performance  and  economics  to  your  datacenter  so  you  can  do  more  with  existing  IT  resources.  The  combination  of  Violin  Memory’s  patented  Flash  Fabric  Architecture™,  Microsoft’s  fast  SMB  Direct  protocol,  and  Microsoft  Windows  Storage  Server  2012  R2  means  you  can  optimize  your  NAS  environment  to  meet  growing  needs  while  delivering  consistent  throughput  to  handle  the  most  demanding  workloads  as  well  as  reducing  CAPEX  and  OPEX.  

The  WFA  is  particularly  well-­‐suited  for  workloads  requiring  consistent  low  latency  and  high  throughput,  and  workloads  with  a  high  degree  of  random  I/O  activity.  Examples  include  Tier-­‐1  NAS  file  servers,  collaboration,  software  development,  media  and  entertainment,  geosciences,  engineering,  high-­‐performance  backup  and  restore  targets,  and  private  cloud  deployments.  In  addition,  multilayered  hardware  and  software  resiliency  delivers  consistent  enterprise-­‐class  performance  and  the  knowledge  that  your  enterprise  applications  and  associated  data  will  remain  online  24x7.  

The  WFA  delivers  the  features  of  SAN,  with  the  performance  of  DAS,  at  the  price  of  NAS.  With  the  WFA,  you  can  transform  your  NAS  and  data  center  economics.  To  learn  more  about  how  the  WFA  can  dramatically  improve  your  NAS  environment,  please  contact  your  Violin  Memory  representative  or  go  to  www.violin-­‐memory.com.
